How to NOT Handle Ball Bearings: A Safety Lesson with Hydraulic Press

Use code hydraulicpress at incogni.com/hydraulicpress to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan
Today we are going to find out how bad idea it is to crush stuff with hydraulic press without safety glasses or other shielding. We are going to use our 150 ton hydraulic press to crush playing cards, ball bearings and bearing balls. As an stunt person we have our brave watermelon with candy eyes to give scientific data and valuable worksafety lessons!

Many lessons to be learned: 1. Always wear eye protection when operating heavy tools and machinery. Especially when you're crushing random items on an hydraulic press. 2. Don't stare closely at whatever you're pressing, no matter how funny it may look. You can stare, but be aware that you may only do it once, so make sure that whatever you're staring at is worth looking at. 3. Don't be a watermelon. Some people may carve holes in you and put false eyes in those holes, then put you in dangerous situations to illustrate a point about safety.

Its insane how loud and dangerous pressing a deck of cards really is

[@icecream-zi7sc]

3:30 don’t be fooled by the lack of a cut. That blunt force trauma to the eye could push the eyeball back in to the skull, increasing the pressure in the space behind your eye, (it’s a closed space so the eye getting pushed back increases the pressure), causing the walls of the cavity where the eyes rest to blow out. This can lead to something called muscle entrapment, where muscles that control the movement of the eye get trapped by the walls of the ocular cavity. This can cut off blood flow to the muscles, killing them, and making you unable to move your eye properly, which can cause some serious problems with double vision.

VERY COOL! OSHA would love this. I would love to see a video with some fog in the chamber to see the flow of air, the force and how it disperses, like with the playing cards - it's an explosion. It just happens so fast, and the watermelon jumps UP. Where does that force come from? It would just be fun to see.

[@llearch]

When the ball bearing shatters, the downward force on the lower plate (upper pillar > ball bearing > lower pillar > lower plate) is released, and you get a sharp jump upwards of the whole lower structure. This brings the lower pillar slamming into the upper pillar, but also brings everything else on the lower plate jumping upwards as well. As well as, because we -are- talking literal tons of force, here, making the whole machine jump, including the camera. Good times. Is that coherent enough to give you an idea, or did I explain poorly?

[@HA05GER]

With pressure of the press your are building up potential energy. Once the bearing gives all that energy is released mostly as kinetic energy.

Into those gearboxes, a lot of things are assembled by pressing & heating (dilatation of a bearing by heating it in a hoven then pressing the said bearing on a shaft or an axle for example), and believe me, in aeronautic maintenance, you are extremely precise. I'm talking about MICRONS precision. (0,001mm tolerances), when you press something that precisely, you use some measuring tools (so you put your hands right next to the head of the press, and you stare STRAIGHT in the press, kneeled in front of it, with your face sitting 10centimeters from it, while it's activated and while the assembly is under pressure (usually we press parts together with around 10-20tons of force). Soooo yeah, the watermelon setup is NOT exagerated, some people literally work everyday with their face sitting at 10cm of a working hydraulic press. if a piece of bearing or shaft snaps, or blows or some metal flakes flies toward my face, i could end up like this watermelon.

New T-Shirt: Well that's not optimal 😆 Love the channel, this was awesome!

3:40 ”that definitely hit the the that thing” new favorite quote from Lauri

[@patriknorsten5813]

I was just setting everything up when you suddenly said "don´t try this at home", sigh!!! Now what? You couls have said that in the beginning ha ha ha! Great as allways. This is so funny!

[@addicted2musictoo]

Seriously, these eyes and your comments make this one of the best KZbin videos ever.

[@livenhfree]

Anni's laugh is so delightful. I could listen to it all day. :-)

[@adamcravets5408]

I haven’t laughed so hard at one of your videos in a long while. When the eyes popped out on that large bearing!😅😂

[@letboilenhaokip7255]

Love the commentaries, and the laughters just add icing on the chocolate.

[@pacecory1]

I really like the like 'safety commentary' here. its funny, and very insightful.

[@nicksttrs]

Where has this channel been all my years on youtube! Thats insane the aftermath of playing cards wtf didnt see that coming at all.. You have a new sub not that you need it. You're all ready killing it!

[@andersjjensen]

Oh you're going to see some EPIC explosions if you go back through their catalogue. But yes, paper products and wood make some spectacular explosions. You kinda intuitively understand that if super hardened steel finally snaps there's going to be some hefty release of energy, but it absolutely wasn't immediately obvious to me that a piece of fire wood would explode with an almighty bang.

[@TheGallant67]

Your channel is so stress realeaving and comedy at same time. Your accents are so great, so funny. Love yous.😅

[@newagetemplar6100]

Better experiment than the Hadron Collider has ever give humanity . Must say , being English myself if find your accent wonderfully funny in a nice way 😂❤🇬🇧

[@marksmithson1414]

Lauri and Anya this is one of the best videos ever seeing the destruction of the watermelon mans face. The big steel ball left all kinds of small debris in his eye's. I really enjoy you videos so much and they are so relaxing to see such things destroyed.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Wow! That was, as Lauri said, terrifying! I'd love to see this in super-slow-motion, though. Any chance of a collaboration with the Slow-Mo Guys?

[@the_hiroman]

Respect for the watermelon. Didn't even blink in front of those explosions.

[@twentyrothmans7308]

This is one of your best.

[@chaosvolt]

This was definitely an eye-opener.

[@sohrab3637]

That's insane ! You can try with ballistic dummy heads to be more specific 👍🏻

[@five12man]

Holy FUCK that plasma blast to the face 10:35 is amazing! I am rolling!! Anybody else laugh uncontrollably at these?

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Always a great video thanks for sharing

[@Derek_Wyld]

2:22 the way its eyes are crossed and it slowly falls over had me giggling. A drunken melon 😂

[@gregsettle9725]

One of your best! Keep up the good work and mayhem.

[@robertwest3093]

This is the kind of video that makes people have bad nightmares. Especially the slo mo of the outer bearing race disappearing in Mr. Melon's cheek!

[@CelticArmory]

I totally did not expect that from playing cards. Wow.

[@yknott.1493]

If you were to drill a hole through the middle of the barring, would it create the shrapnel to be bigger pieces?

[@bunnybreaker]

OMG the third press was hilarious. Love how the eyes were actually safe, but popped out after the monster shard went in the face.

[@warriorsorb1111]

This is actually cool to watch, especially with that ball bearing exploding. That was WHOA

[@dimitar4y]

those squishy eyes are freaking me out so much xD
